Mr. Speaker, the defence minister is trying to rewrite history in the Somalia scandal. Yesterday he said:
There is no one in Canada who believes that there was or there is today a cover-up of a murder.
The minister's arrogance knows no bounds. Does he think that documents shredded themselves? Why does he think the Somalia inquiry wanted to hear from Bob Fowler, Kim Campbell and John Anderson?
How can the minister possibly claim that no one tried to cover up the beating, torture and murder of Shidane Arone?
